eBay Blog?

Some comments have been posted asking me to create an eBay blog. Is this correct? I will consider this, but frankly, I would rather post here about eBay and promote this site. Would this help you folks? What would you like to learn other than the obvious things, which I have covered in my books?

I was born in a log cabin in Des Plaines, Ill. I split rails for the local railroads and built landing strips for the jet airplanes that scream overhead every five minutes. I convulsively peer into the sky to this day, looking for interference from the heavens.

I wrote a column called "So It Goes" for my local paper for $5 a week. I was able to buy a house in the city of Chicago with this fortune, where I have been ever since.

Suddenly, in middle age, my comfortable existence was shattered by fatherhood, which rendered all pets and mechanical instruments irrelevant.

Have been obsessed with being a doting father and struggling to pay book bills and musical lesson fees ever since. Wrote a book on online dating years before I tried it. Have retired from this after repeated failures followed -- miraculously -- by success.

New profession: chauffeur to two teenage girls who talk to me occasionally.
